Infantile convulsion is a common disease in infants and young children, with an incidence of 10-15 times that of adults. This is because the brain of infants and young children is underdeveloped, and even a weak stimulus can cause abnormal discharge of motor neurons in the brain, leading to convulsion. There are many reasons for children's convulsion. The common one is high fever, especially in 2-3 year old children, which is more likely to cause convulsion.

Parents are often unprepared if children have a draught at home. If they are not handled properly, serious consequences will also be caused. Here is a brief introduction to the emergency treatment of children with a draught.

Once a child has a convulsion, first of all, parents should not panic. They should put the child flat, turn his head to one side, put the palm of his hand on the child's chin, slightly raise his head to the side, and lift his chin to make the trachea unobstructed, but pay attention not to let food enter the trachea and cause suffocation.

Secondly, do not shake the child to restore his consciousness, and do not shout to stimulate him. You should unfasten the baby's collar button, belt or diaper. In order to prevent children from biting their tongues due to wind, the chopsticks head can be wrapped with cloth, placed between the teeth, and pressed against the tongue. For children whose convulsion has not alleviated for a while, parents can pinch the "Renzhong" point in the middle of the upper lip and the "Hegu" point between the thumb and index finger with their fingers.

When a child has an attack, parents should carefully observe his condition. How do they smoke? How long did it last? Any other symptoms? At the same time, parents can also take the video of the child's attack, so that they can accurately convey it to the doctor when they go to see a doctor.
